Read the question again. Look in ASA 4-2-D for any reference to "defense only."

B2 now decides to advance to 2B and is thrown out. The umpire should rule obstruction and award B2 the base they would have reached had there been no obstruction.

I have False.

Look again at ASA 8-5-B, EXCEPTION 1. Is exception 1 still applicable? Why or why not?
